Why can't squids swim in water

Cause paint dissolves in water.

Fucking 5 straight losses in ranked-_- no matter I good I play it doesn't matter if my team doesn't do anything and my rank suffers. Team based games can be so annoying especially this one since I can't form a team a people I trust.

 

[Rebel Leader]

All da time, map awareness is key

Constantly. It's the only way to score high points with some guns.

i look at the gamepad because i enjoy winning

But does your team enjoy it?

 

[Chezzymann]

I hope they add more game modes in the next couple weeks. Yeah its only been a week since splat zones but thats still just two modes. Not much variety at all...

 

[BlueSilver]

Going E-Liter for a bit. Don't hurt me, GAF. =(

Say what want about brushes, but they're definitely the most entertaining to watch.

Love it, first time I saw someone doing it I was cracking up pretty hard. Looks hilarious

They can, they just swim all the way back to the respawn point.

Unfortunately ink doesn't hold together in water..

But does your team enjoy it?

Don't know many who don't enjoy winning.

Gosh, I feel like I'm okay at videogames but some of these scrolls are pretty tricky to find....

My favorite color is either teal or purple. What's your favorite color?

Yellow/Cheese is for chumps.

While going through the levels look around and ahead, usually you'll see the level give it away. Some were pretty well hidden.

I like yellow Afro

 

[ChrisD]

I've lost every round on this friggin' Port. Won every one at the Mall. Guess which one I've gotten more often.

Use the islands before and after to view and check for places you wouldn't normally be able to see while on them.

Because it's actually hard to die if you see it coming and easy to kill the user after the Kraken is over.

Popping a bubble when the kracken is coming toward you is quite funny. This one kracken was swimming right toward me, but then I popped my bubble shield, he did a complete 180 and disappeared into a half-pipe never to be seen again. He literally NOPE'd out.

Easy to dodge when you know it's coming from a mile away

Spoiler

after getting pegged with it over and over again

.

If you can read their name its easy to dodge.

It's easy to dodge the Kracken, I have escaped many times buy just moving back. The only time I died was when I didn't have any ink to hide or got stuck.



I tried doing that but I found the trail to narrow for my liking, I prefer to have a bigger room to strafe.



No you need to do the levels first.

It's not about kill power guys. Every second I have to spend running away is a second the opposing team can spend capturing the splatzone. It's disruptive for a long period of time and totally unstoppable. Not to mention that splatzones is all about being in tiny, enclosed areas.

 

[Teasing_Pink]

My favorite color is either teal or purple. What's your favorite color?

Yellow/Cheese is for chumps.

The pink ink. It just looks so delicious, like a nice milkshake or glass of strawberry quik.Can't shake the feeling I'm squirting mustard everywhere when I get yellow ink too.

Maybe I need to stop playing Splatoon when I'm hungry.

Bad chargers are really, really useless

175 points when everyone else is 700-1100

That deep blue is the best

I do when i see a roller going after someone

 

[BlueSilver]

Violet exploding me without a trail of ink. It's like I got a bomb remotely detonated from inside of me. Scares me. lol

This is true, people have learned excellent strategies against my Kraken. One time, a person actually chased after me in Kraken mode as if I'm some sort of Moby Dick. Nowadays I have to sneak attack, pretend as if I'm some terrible roller (not too hard, considering how many there are) and activate it 2 seconds from splatting.

Popping a bubble when the kracken is coming toward you is quite funny. This one kracken was swimming right toward me, but then I popped my bubble shield, he did a complete 180 and disappeared into a half-pipe never to be seen again. He literally NOPE'd out.

I've done plenty of U-turns in my time. Bubble shields are awful, I remember my first time bouncing off one to my horror and finding time running down. Feel like a superhero on a time limit with the kraken.

The more annoying strategy that I see alot is the enemy retreating to the invincible spawn point when I become the kraken. Waste of my time.

 

[ChrisD]

May the squid be with you.

I was about to win again but it disconnected ten seconds before we did since I was the only American in a Japanese lobby.

The squid is not with me.

 

[RedFyn]

I know, I'm just being a dick

Well that's not very nice!

 

[TheSlySoul]

Wow, put the worst 2 maps tonight of all nights! Ugh!

 

[Hazu]

I just did 1690p in a game, my best score so far!

What's your best score guys?

 

[akashhhhh]

Way too many of these matches are determined by whichever team has four members at the end of the match. So many drops. It's irritating enough to turn me off the game...

 

[fred]

Gahhhh I can't decide whether or not to buy this game. My Wii U has been collecting dust lately and this may be a good game to get me using it again.

Do iiiiiiiiiit!!!

The game is a ridiculous amount of fun, and REALLY addictive.

This could end up being every bit as big an online IP as Mario Kart is if Nintendo play their cards right imo.

 

[Ferrio]

What's everyone's opinion on painting the home base area? Should you wait till later in the match, or early game where it might just get overwritten by some asshole anyways?

 

[RedFyn]

-.-

Violet, I tried jumping to the middle and you blocked me sending me to my death

 

[BlueSilver]

Dat .2% loss. GG

 

[Violet_0]

nerf the E-Liter range imo

 

[Grakl]

at the moment I'm doing quite well with stacking Damage Up on chargers, I just need to find the right balance

Sure, and I stack damage up too, just not dat much

Edit: e-liter sux

 

[mp1990]

Just won my first ranked, great match much harder than normal battles tho, if your team start losing the match on some maps its almost impossible to recover

 

[johnnyfive]

I hope they add more game modes in the next couple weeks. Yeah its only been a week since splat zones but thats still just two modes. Not much variety at all...

I hope a lot of pvp levels with the features from single player mode show up.

I wouldn't mind the sponges, moving bridges, ink lines, and even mobs added to pvp.

 

[Sendou]

What's everyone's opinion on painting the home base area? Should you wait till later in the match, or early game where it might just get overwritten by some asshole anyways?

Players with useful specials (Echolocator mainly) need to go at it like their life depends on it right away. Players with less useful specials need to rush to control the middle as that's where the match is controlled. Good split is 3 to the middle and 1 staying back. You can also cover the base bit by bit each time you spawn.

 

[Heng]

What's everyone's opinion on painting the home base area? Should you wait till later in the match, or early game where it might just get overwritten by some asshole anyways?

Controlling the map is more important than your base at the start of the match. I usually try to control mid and push into their base if I'm successful. When I die, I start painting the base if I can get my special off after my death.

The B- Rank ride never ends for me...

I want until I die... usually a lot of the team misses it.. so just to play clean-up and helps refill special meter

 

[Malus]

How would a sponge work in pvp anyways? I guess you'd need to shrink it all the way down if it's in an opponent's color and then you'd gain 'control' of it.

Today's Shop: 1 new shirt (and 1 new shirt from Spyke)


PSA: Stop wearing Crazy Arrows everyone, I already have them!


Also, I found out I have like 200 slots on my clothes which I need to buy if I wanna 3-Slot everything, which I do...

...30,000 points x 200 is 6,000,000 points needed...

Found a picture of my future...

 

[Violet_0]

Violet, I tried jumping to the middle and you blocked me sending me to my death

oh that's sad
I didn't even notice

 

[BlueSilver]

lol violet, I hit you with the bombs, you look around for a second after I stop throwing them and then get splatted out of nowhere.
